80%? I would say that for a 10 sec car, it would probably smoke at least 99% of the street legal cars out there.......

How did that Reliant become a 10-second car ?

And... so much for "aerodynamics".
Two things:

"Aerodynamics" is an accepted spelling.

Aerodynamics does not play much of a factor at all until the car is well over 100 mph. Most streetable drag cars don't need to worry about aerodynamics because they aren't going to be racing in anything other than a straight line and not at high enough speeds for total drag to really come into play. Aerodynamics has a large part to play in top speed, but acceleration is far more affected by weight.
